GENERAL MANAGER – CASUAL DINING
Cambridge
£52,000 – £55,000 + Bonus
I’m working with a brilliant, high-energy restaurant concept in Cambridge that is looking for an experienced General Manager to take the lead at one of its key sites. This is a busy, quality-led operation, so I’m looking for someone who loves being on the floor, knows how to build a great team and can balance brilliant hospitality with strong commercial performance.
THE ROLE
- Full ownership of the restaurant, from the people and guest experience through to sales, labour and overall profitability
- Visible on the floor, setting the pace during busy services and making sure standards are consistently high
- Recruit, coach and develop your team, creating a positive culture with clear expectations, accountability and opportunities to progress
- Own the P&L, understanding what drives your business – managing labour and costs, protecting margin and finding opportunities to grow sales

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
